Subject:electric mirror trouble...

87 Westy.  Power/heated mirrors don't work.   Need the lists help to
troubleshoot further.

The 6 wires going into the drivers door (4 to the mirror switch and 2
to the heat element in the mirror) were broken in the rubber covering
near the door hinges.  I replaced them all with new wires and checked
continuity under the dash.  All good now.

Now;

The switch can be set for left or right mirror, same thing happens.

When I push the button up or down, BOTH mirrors "CLICK" but they
don't move.  Left or right adjustment does nothing.

Is my switch hosed?  Or are the motors inside the mirrors hosed?  Or
could it be the wiring harness going to the passenger door?  (I
didn't check the passenger door harness yet).
